Offices or remote, nothing is perfect, it's a tradeoff.

And the habits and practices are far from settled at this point.

I think that most companies are doing remote wrong, too many meetings, not enough async communication, not enough written communication overall.

The open source world is a good example of the possible efficiency.

everyone is different, but remote is perfect for me and most (but not all) of the people I know

The problem I am finding is that I put a lot of energy into well written comms and trying to enforce async, but the less tech savvy peers of mine cannot seem to make the efficiencies work. Too much time is spent finding that file or assigning tasks to "we" instead of calling out or asking individuals to do their actual jobs. A lot of "email passing" happens which eventually leads me to booking a Zoom meeting to sort things out. It is very frustrating to watch.
